1st Race
Top Picks #3, #1 and #8
#3 Noroomformischief is an improving sort that has showed up strong her last 3 races. She can also boast the best last Beyer Speed figure. #1 Hearbeat's past form suggest she could handle this field. Second start off the claim and encouraged that connections didn't drop her back in for a tag. #8 Queen of Queens is 2nd off the layoff and top connections bring her over.
2nd Race
Top Picks #4, #7 and #5
#4 Mena is dropping to a new low and he has been quite successful at this distance. #7 Manfredi is fresh off the layoff and brings a solid worktab. #5 Vino Gouragio looks capable of boosting the exotics.
3rd Race
Top Picks #7, #5 and #2
#7 Virabhadrasana looks much the best off the maiden win. Irad Ortiz, Jr takes over the reins. #5 Chickies Perch only Beyer figure is a little soft but the gate to wire debut win is still impressive. #2 Seaside Startup another winner at first asking and comes over with top connections.
4th Race
Top Picks #5, #1 and #7
#5 Fast Gun could be the lone speed in this event and prove hard to catch. #1 Pretty in a Dress is 2nd off the layoff and has shown some sharp works since her last. #7 Rules and Regs is trying the main track for the first time in her 4 race career but like her at this distance and can't leave out.
5th Race
Top Picks #11, #12 and #8
#11 Cadenza is a MGSP runner that seldom misses a check. She likes this distance and Irad lands here. #12 Laigina is a consistent filly while keeping legit company. Should be competitive with these. #8 Pillar of Beauty is 2nd off the layoff and past form suggest she fits well here.
6th Race
Top Picks #4, #8 and #6
#4 Saltwater Soul brings a sharp work tab for his debut. #8 National Forest was quick out of the gates in debut and just missed the win. Excuse is a far outside post and may prove the one to beat here. #6 T V Time Out has a couple of races under his belt and deserves a look.
7th Race
Top Picks #8, #10 and #4
#8 Hymn is in top form and his game run in the Grade 1 Forego last out was impressive. #10 Nakatomi won this race last year in a tough battle to the wire. He is 2nd off the layoff and expect him to be very sharp. #Verifire has 5 wins in 7 starts, he loves this distance and is fresh for top connections.
8th Race
Top Picks #3, #5 and #11
#3 Monique En Bol broke her maiden in her debut effort at Kentucky Downs. She should be fit and sharp off that one. #5 Seneca Park is undefeated in 2 career starts. This is her first try at 2 turns but looks capable of the assignment. #11 Elegante Miz showed some early speed in her last race and could pose a threat here.
9th Race
Top Picks #5, #1 and #8
#5 Summer Starlet exits a win in the Grade 1 Spinaway and looks like a star in the making. #1 Emphatic has dominated in both her career starts. Can't overlook this up and coming filly. #8 Elewene is stepping up in company here but she has won her last 2 starts with ease and have to consider.
10th Race
Top Picks #11, #9 and #12
#11 Doctrine is 2nd off the layoff coming off a 3rd place finish with similar. Look for him to improve off that one and find the winner's circle this time. #9 Lazlo should be on or close to the lead and looks capable of staying on for part. #12 The Brigade seldom misses a check and expect he will show up here as well.
